In most cases, it's really pointless to call a social security office in North Carolina for status updates on a claim because they simply will not know the answers to your questions. This probably sounds nonsensical to anyone who is not familiar with how the social security disability and SSI system operates, but it's quite true. The way the system is set up, social security field offices only take disability applications. They do not process them. That is, they do not gather the records on a claim and they do not make decisions on claims. And for this reason, the social security office will seldom know the disposition of a claim, other than that the claim is still pending or has been decided. For status updates, it may simply be best to contact disability determination services in raleigh.
Can you win disability for only certain impairments, or on the basis of any impairment?
Answer: The Social Security Administration's disability evaluation system does not focus on a claimant's diagnosis, but, rather, on the functional limitations a claimant has. In other words, the name of the condition is not the chief consideration. How the condition "affects and limits: the indiviual is the primary concern. So, yes, disability benefits can be won on the basis of nearly any condition provided that the condition is sufficiently limiting.
As these hypothetical examples show, disabling conditions can take a wide variety of forms.
"Asthma, rheumatoid arthritis,lupus and possible osteoporosis. sometimes i wake up with my hands, ankles and knees all swollen... my headaches are awfull. i was in the hospital for 8 days, with fevers and pains, but they couldnt find anything at all."
"Adhd also other secondary condictions i didn't list on appilcation still behind 3 yrs in school reading math spelling going into the 4th grade lack of resoning put self in dangous situations lacks social gestures poor hygine inabity to focus"
"I was born with a speech dispect and also has heart condition my valve on my heart doesnt close all the way right and then sometimes it pumps fast"
"Crohns, Interstitial cystitis, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis are the conditions I have. The main one I suffer the most from is Interstitial cystitis and had to quit my job in January of 2006 for. I have been sick most of my life and was diganosed in 1991 with the Crohns disease and have suffered greatly with it. I am ill every day and on most days can not get out of bed. I can't eat nor can I sleep. "
